[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1608770"] When you say "it's off" what exactly do you mean? Some applications, particularly those that use the GPS, like Facebook, when pushed into the background but left running in memory, continue to access that GPS function, which consumes power, obviously. TO see what's running in the background, double click on the Home button and you will see all the applications that are consuming memory and possibly power. To shut them down, flick them up until they disappear. And occasionally it's good to power off the iPhone and reboot it. I called Apple about my 5s suddenly having shorter battery life and that was their suggestion. To my surprise, it actually worked! Apparently my memory had gotten fragmented somehow, so the CPU was busy shuffling things all around. A reboot defraged the memory and all is well. [/QUOTE]
